INTRODUCTION
It was a dream come true. A wedding day! The bride looked radiant in her gown. From top to bottom she appeared perfect. However, hidden underneath her floor length dress and stuffed inside her brand new shoes, a blister was forming. It began during the photos, escalated as she walked down the aisle, and by the time the first dance for the bride and groom was done, she was in sheer agony. Sound familiar?

Walking on Sand

Imagine a world with no concrete floors, or extended hours standing around greeting customers. Originally, man had sandy beaches and grassy plains to walk on. What a wonderful feeling! Sand between our toes and soft grass comforting every step. The foot was able to do what it needed to do naturally and without effort. Now with hard floors and grueling schedules, the foot must accommodate the ground instead of the ground accommodating the foot.

We all work much harder doing what should be the easiest thing in the world. Walking! As our feet bend to meet the ground, unneeded pressure on our ankles, knees, hips, back and neck create poor posture and foot ailments. As you may have experienced, this results in tired, sore, aching and swollen feet.

If you aren't able to walk barefoot in the sand all day, comfortable socks and shoes are the first things to protect your feet. Sometimes foot support inserts are needed to help with balance or when one leg is longer than the other. Foot exercises and massage are a great way to increase your circulation and keeps your joints mobile. So treat your feet right and keep them in good shape!
